After much speculation, reports revealed that the former beauty queen who punched a policeman at Jalan Universiti (along the Federal Highway) is Kohinoor Damodaran Kaittiani (also known as Kohinoor Kaur Kaittiani).
Besides using physical force to intimidate a civil servant, the 29-year-old was also using the drug tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). According to NST, she reported not guilty to both charges and has been bailed.
